Storyboard in basic mode
In the "Edit" screen in basic mode, the Arranger has been replaced with a Storyboard.
Pictures and video footage (including the audio track) are displayed as scenes in the
Storyboard. The scenes are all displayed the same way, irrespective of how long they
really are in the movie.
Note: With this kind of display, the playback marker moves in the movie at different
speeds during playback. Correspondingly, it moves slower in longer scenes.
You can load a video or image file by dragging it into the Storyboard from the Media
Pool using the mouse. To generate a preview of the video, drag the file into the
program monitor. The transport console no longer applies to the Storyboard, but plays
the video from the Media Pool.
A loaded file is made up of a single long "scene", which can be split into several
smaller scenes. You can do this manually using the Cut button (view page 46) in the
lower tool
bar or using the function Automatic scene detection (view page 259)
(S
hortcut Shift + Z).
You can then re-arrange the scenes using drag & drop and delete unwanted scenes.
The following buttons are found on every scene:
Add titles and text: Click on the "T" button to add a title. Enter your
text straight into the program monitor. You can also change the size
of the title. The title is added at the beginning of the scene and is
displayed for 5 seconds.
Set volume: The volume in the soundtrack of each scene can be set
with the loudspeaker button.
